Pros

Great range of people (it takes all kinds)After a regulatory glitch a few years back, new mgmt was brought in and almost everyone with bad habits was flushed outMgmt has a knack for picking people they know will work well in their groupsGreat morale programs (recognition, feedback, events, outings)Great benefits & options (even pet health insurance if you want to shell out for it)Nice enough location: close to the city, but don't have to hassle with parking issues; overlooks a hill where horses roam, as well as the bayOn-site showerFree breakfast cereal, frozen yogurt, subsidized vending machines, not afraid of drinking at social events

Cons

It's biotech, i.e. tensions can run high when everyone knows their jobs could be cutGossip can run a bit amokNot a lot of lunch options around the area

Advice to Management

Remind people that you can only give negative comments about your co-workers to someone above you - otherwise it's gossip

Cons

Like all jobs there are risks. I wished Intermune had a better pipeline and a very profitable balance sheet.
